Drežnik 2 (Krušečevi)

While most houses in Slovenia carry a household name, there are some houses which do not exist anymore and were deserted many years before anyone was aware of their existence. The household names for these houses is therefore lost as it was not documented anywhere either. In the case of some smaller settlements such as Ogulin and Drežnik, household names were never widely adopted as there was no need to differentiate families from each other. In the case of Drežnik, there is very limited repetition of surnames leading to the use of surnames as the “household name”.

The oldest record we have found to date for a person from this house is for Jurij Krušec b. 1768. He married Ana Pavlešič b. 1784. Together, they had at least 5 children, including:

1A. Marija Krušec b. 1803. At this time, it is unknown what happened to her afterwards.

1B. Matija Krušec b. 1806, m. 1832 to Marija Ivanič — they remained at this house.

1C. Katarina Krušec b. 1810. At this time, it is unknown what happened to her afterwards.

1D. Ana Krušec b. 1824, had 2 illegitimate children — she remained at this house.
